Mark Benton – Natrona County Sheriff’s Office

In 1996, Undersheriff Mark Benton sought to have Deputy Lorraine ‘Jade’ McKenzie decertified by the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission, expressing a lack of ‘trust’ and ‘confidence’ in her ability to serve as a law enforcement officer. This action was taken despite McKenzie’s ten years of service and her efforts to return to duty after addressing her psychological health issues. The case led to legal proceedings where McKenzie alleged discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
